Chapter 388: Entering the stalemate

The military medical officer frowned tightly when he saw it, and he said to Li Jiancheng: "His Royal Highness the Prince! The other arrows were fine, but this golden arrow was a bit troublesome; It is necessary to cut the flesh and remove the arrow from the bone; The pain is unbearable. ”

Li Yuanji slapped his head and said, "Bastard thing!" What's unbearable about a little pain? Don't say anything, hurry up! If I cry out in pain, I won't be the king of Qi. ”

The military medical officer looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, did you tie up King Qi first?" If he moves in pain, it may hurt his meridians. This leg is dangerous. ”

Li Yuanji raised his hand to fight again, but Li Jiancheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, you continue to do it, I believe in King Qi's perseverance." ”

The military medical officer didn't say anything more, and gently cut the arrow shaft with scissors and asked Li Yuanji to withdraw his clothes and pants; Then he found a sharp knife and slowly cut through the flesh; Blood trickled down Li Yuanji's thigh and flowed into the basin underground.

Li Yuanji's hands were bruised, and the sweat on his head was dripping uncontrollably. The corners of the eyes of the generals in the camp twitched, and some of them were so frightened that their legs were weak and they wanted to leave now.

It took about an hour of work before the medic sweated profusely and finished the final bandage. Li Yuanji moved slightly, and the injury retreated; Nodding in satisfaction.

He picked up the cut half-cut arrow shaft and looked at the three words Wang Wendu on it; Gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Wendu, where did this bastard come out, when I break Juye County, I will have to cut you with a thousand knives." ”

At the beginning of the Battle of Juye County, Wang Bodang also led the army to Dongming County. Wang Hu had already prepared for defense. The gates of the city had been blocked on all sides, and the sergeants were all standing at the head of the city, quietly staring at the slowly approaching Wagang army.

Wang Bodang urged the war horse to come to the city, and he shouted upstairs: "Listen, the people in the city! The Wagang Heavenly Soldiers have arrived; If you surrender, you can still keep yourself alive; If delusional confrontation? Hum! Look! ”

As he spoke, he jerked his bow and arrows, and shot at the head of the city with a "whoosh". "Smack!" "Whoa!" With a bang, the big demon ** flag on the head of the city was shot and broke the rope and fell down.

"Presumptuous! Those who insult the Great Demon Kingdom will not die! Wang Hu jerked up a crossbow; Aimed at Wang Bodang.

Wang Bodang laughed, it was so far away that it was only possible for a marksman like him to shoot; He also knows this Wang Hu, and he has a lot of strength; But he has no qualifications as a marksman; Can he shoot himself?

How do you know that the new generation of bows and crossbows of the Great Demon Kingdom has increased the crosshair; With a little training and exercise, anyone can shoot an accurate arrow.

Because of the long distance, Wang Hu was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he directly chose the moon-hugging white dragon horse with a larger target. "Whoosh!" When the real arrow goes like a shooting star; By the time Wang Bodang found out that it was not good and wanted to dodge, it was too late.

"Bang!" The arrow hit the head of the moon-hugging white dragon horse; Powerful force; In one fell swoop, the head of the white dragon horse was shattered.

"Boom!" Wang Bodang fell to the ground at once, making a mess. Wang Hu suddenly raised the bow and crossbow in his hand and shouted: "Insulting the Great Demon Kingdom will definitely die!" Long live the Great Demon Kingdom! ”

"Long live the Great Demon Kingdom!" "Long live the Great Demon Kingdom!"

The low morale of the soldiers suddenly skyrocketed, and they brandished the swords and guns in their hands, and shouted desperately with excitement.

On the contrary, the Wagang army was unusual, and his face was as pale as dirt. Wang Bodang saw that the BMW that had been following him for more than ten years was shot to death, and he burst into tears of distress.

He flashed his silver spear and shouted, "Charge!" Take Dongming County. The Wagang army rushed up like a tidal wave.

"Kill!" Wang Hu roared and continued to shoot the sharp arrow in his hand; The soldiers under his command roared, and for a time arrows rained down on the city, and the two armies launched an attack.

Li Mi looked at the tall Dingtao City, and didn't know how to do it for a while. According to the spine of Huai, Xu, Ning, Wei, Yan and Zhao, it has always been a famous water and land transportation center, an economic metropolis and a military strategic place in the Central Plains, and enjoys the reputation of "in the world".

Dingtao County has been heightened and strengthened in the past dynasties, and the Great Demon Kingdom is no exception; By now it has formed an impregnable fortress.

Shan Xiongxin bowed down and said, "King Wei, do we want to attack it?" Li Mi shook his head and said, "It's just an increase in casualties." Xiongxin, you lead people to fight and see if you can lure the enemy out? ”

Shan Xiongxin agreed and led the team to the city; He urged his horse forward and shouted, "Listen, people of the city! Shan Tong is here, and I have long heard that the soldiers of the Great Demon Country will be fierce; There are heroes in the city who are not afraid of death who come down to fight with me 300 times. ”

Duan Zhixuan laughed and said: "Single, you have become a famous general in vain, and you dare to make such nonsense." War is child's play, if you have the ability, you will send troops to attack the city, let's divide up and down the high ground! said that if he retreated, he would be the turtle king bastard! ”

"Siege! Do you dare to come? If you don't dare, go back to breastfeeding! All the soldiers in the city cooperated with Duan Zhixuan and shouted.

The face of the single male is like the bottom of the pot; It took a long time to endure and not have a seizure; With a wave of his hand, "Retreat!" "Go back with the army and give orders.

"Roar! The soft eggs are back! "The turtle king bastard has retracted!" The soldiers of the Great Demon Kingdom laughed loudly.

Seeing that the enemy did not come out, Li Mi ordered his soldiers to set up camp, and asked the soldiers to make the appearance of neglecting the defense, preparing to lure the enemy to steal the camp.

As a result, they waited until the next day, and Duan Zhixuan didn't make any movement for him to delay the day in vain.

That night, Li Mi took Shan Xiongxin and more than a dozen soldiers to pretend to watch the city, and used himself as bait to lure Duan Zhixuan out of the city. How do you know that Duan Zhixuan came to the city when he heard the news, and laughed at Li Mi and the others: "King Wei, you came to my Shandong with 100,000 soldiers, why are you polite?" You're welcome, let's have a good fight. ”

Li Mi snorted coldly and turned his head away; The soldiers on the field shouted again: "Li Mi, dare to fight!" Don't run away with your tail between your legs! ”

Dingtao, Juye, and Dongming are inextricably fighting wits and bravery; At this time, Li Shimin and Xue Rengao had been holding each other for more than 60 days, and Xue Rengao's army had run out of food.

The generals of Western Qin, Liang Hulang and others saw that there was no hope for Western Qin; And they have always been at odds with Xue Rengao, and they have been repeatedly harassed these days. So as soon as they combined, they led their respective teams to surrender to Li Shimin; and also brought back the captured Liu Hongji, Chang Da and others.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and personally received it through Liang Hulang, and immediately entrusted him with an important task. From Liang Hulang's mouth, I learned that the generals and soldiers under Xue Rengao had the heart of divorce, and there was not much food and grass in the army, and there were many complaints in the army, and there was no will to fight.

He ordered Liang Shi, the chief of the marching army, to camp in the shallow water plain to lure Xue Rengao to attack. Xue Rengao was very happy when he found out, and dispatched all the elites to attack Liang Shi; Liang Shi held the danger and did not fight.

Xue Rengao alone could not defeat the enemy, and there was no water source in the camp, so there was no water for the men and horses to drink for several days. Xue Renguo was furious and whipped the soldiers every day, and countless people were tortured and killed by him, and the soldiers turned from resentment to hatred.

Li Shimin estimated that Xue Rengao's army was tired, and told the generals that the time had come to attack.

Early the next morning, Li Shimin asked Liu Hongji to line up in the shallow water plain. Xue Rengao personally led the Kansai Iron Cavalry to fight Liu Hongji. Liu Hongji is not Xue Rengao's opponent, and he can hardly hold on.

At this time, Li Shimin led the army to appear from the north of the shallow water plain by surprise, and Xue Rengao hurriedly gave up Liu Hongji to lead the army to meet the battle.

Li Shimin led dozens of hundreds of horsemen to rush into the enemy formation, and Liu Hongji also took the opportunity to exert his might; The Tang army fought hard inside and outside, and the cries were moving, Xue Rengao's troops were defeated, and the Tang army killed thousands of people.

Li Shimin led more than 2,000 cavalry to pursue Xue Rengao, and Dou Liang grabbed his horse and persuaded bitterly: "Xue Rengao still occupies a strong city, although this time it failed; But we can't rush in easily, I ask that we stay still for the time being, and observe Xue Rengao's movements. ”

Li Shimin said: "I have been thinking about this issue for a long time, and now that our army is winning like a bamboo, the opportunity cannot be lost, so don't talk about it anymore!" So Li Shimin led the whole army to break through.

Xue Rengao heard that Li Shimin was coming, and he led the army to meet the enemy under the city. Li Shimin faced Xue Rengao's camp according to the Jing River, and Xue Rengao's Xiao general Hun Gan and others were persuaded by Liang Hulang to suddenly rebel and surrender in front of the Tang army.

Xue Rengao was shocked when he saw it, and he was afraid that his subordinates would betray him, so he led his troops into the city to refuse. When it was almost dark, the Tang army arrived one after another, so they surrounded the city.

In the middle of the night, Li Shimin surrounded Lanzhou and arranged for his army to go to the city and sing Shaanxi folk songs; The defenders of the city wept bitterly when they heard this, and then they went down to the city and surrendered.

The next day, Xue Rengao got a report that his army had dispersed seven or eight out of ten, and he had no choice but to lead the civil and military officials out of the city to surrender; Li Shimin got more than 10,000 elite soldiers from Xue Rengao and 50,000 people; The strength has increased dramatically.

Li Shimin ordered Xue Rengao to be escorted to Chang'an, and Li Yuan was overjoyed and ordered people to behead Xue Rengao and dozens of his party members in the downtown of Chang'an City.

Duan Decao sent Liang Li, the deputy commander, to lead the army to attack, and he commanded the light cavalry to make a surprise attack, sneaking out of the rear of the Liang army to prepare for a surprise attack.

Seeing that the enemy had finally come out, the Liang division hurriedly waved his army to meet the Tang army on the opposite side, and the two sides fought fiercely, with countless casualties.

When the two armies were getting tired of fighting, Duan Decao led the light cavalry to make a big fanfare, and the enemy came from behind the Liang army by surprise.

The exhausted Liang army was suddenly attacked by the iron cavalry of the new force, and was immediately defeated, rushing to flee for their lives. Duan Decao led the army to chase more than 200 miles to the north, and took advantage of the victory to break through Weizhou, the capital of the Liang division, and beheaded many prisoners.

The Liang division finally gathered 5,000 defeated soldiers; There was no choice but to continue to flee to the northwest, wanting to return to his old nest.
